On Saturday, February 17th, a luxurious beach home located on Kiawah Island that was previously asking $6 million will be offered for sale at a live auction, wherein the highest bidder above a $1.75 million reserve price will prevail. The sale, which was commissioned by the home’s owner, is being managed by luxury real estate auction firm Platinum Luxury Auctions. Platinum is conducting the transaction in cooperation with listing agent Mary Lou Wertz of South Carolina-based brokerage Atlantic Properties of the Lowcountry.

“While we’ve had great success in other South Carolina markets, this is our first Kiawah Island offering, and we’re thrilled to assist yet another frustrated homeowner with the date-certain sale of her multimillion-dollar property,” stated Trayor Lesnock, Platinum’s founder and president. “Kiawah has long served as the perfect example of how to develop a luxurious coastal community, and families continue to seek out the area for its beauty, safety and ample amenities.”

The tri-level property is located within the island’s exclusive Vanderhorst Plantation subdivision, which offers its own security gate (meaning the home sits behind two gates), and is home to the island’s two most desirable golf courses, Osprey Point and the world-famous Ocean Course. The community is also close to the Kiawah Island Club’s Beach Club and Marsh House facilities, which collectively offer a host of amenities to the island’s residents.

Nestled amongst mature landscaping, the home sits on a 0.7-acre lot offering direct beach frontage. The parcel’s lengthy, rectangular shape includes a private, gently winding walkway leading to the sands of the beach, and also allows the home to enjoy a degree of protection, being setback from ocean winds and sea spray.

The main residence provides 4 bedrooms, 5 full and one-half baths, and more than 5,700 square feet of living space, while a separate guesthouse – which also serves as a cabana – adds another bed, full bath, and 350 square feet of interiors. Prominent features of the home include a large salon with oversized windows offering ocean views, high quality window shutters, an elevator, study, gourmet kitchen and a large master suite occupying the entire third level.

Outside, there is a large, covered terrace and sundeck that allows for ample entertainment around the private pool. The guesthouse/cabana, adjacent to the pool, also offers its own kitchenette and a laundry area, making it ideal for overnight guest posts or domestic staff.

In addition, the new owner of the property will have the option to purchase a Kiawah Island Club membership directly from the current homeowner. This is significant, as it allows the new owner to avoid the often-lengthy waitlist that exists for new club members.

Previews of the property will be held daily, between the hours of 12pm and 4pm (ET), until the auction date.
